Note:
Hypervisor versions: For details on hypervisor support, visit the Support matrix and usage guidelines on the NetScaler documentation site.
1. For the optimal performance, irrespective of the license, we recommend 4 GB memory per vCPU (e.g., for a VPX with 6 vCPUs,
we recommend having 24GB memory allocated).
2. Processors supported: Intel VTx and AMD processors on ESXi from 13.1–4.x release.
3. VMXNET3 is supported on ESXi versions only.
4. Performance validated for XenServer using SR-IOV only.
5. For each VPX, one vCPU will be allotted to MGMT and all others are PE(s).
